The reality of another shite batting performance hit home hard...
The Bemboka B grade boys were gracious enough on Saturday to hand Merimbula their first points of the season at Berimbool. In a day that promised so much, after a change of captain, Dunko did his only useful thing for the day and won the toss. Fat load of good that did as he was out for bugger all after filling the captains shoes and facing up first. Man of the moment with the bal, Mr Cricket Dan McLoskey wandered out with his refurbished bat- a kneejerk reaction after his brand new stick didn't do the job last week. Dunko didn't even have his pads off before he metaphorically 'handed the duck over' to Dan. First ball duck. might just write that twice. Golden duck. Might not have a chance to repeat that this year.. Bretto put a few together, Jimmy and Barney scratched about for a few. Maz practiced his padding up early (bad news when Jimmy 'Dickie Bird' Glen umpiring). Mick W wacked a few about, Donnie had a swipe with his new bat, Dave was nice enough to accept the 'Golden Duck' from McLoskey and Bobby didn't quite make 50 today. 76 to win for Merimbula...
Boys came out firing with two men in close till Bretto done a heart muscle after almost having his leg broken by a middled drive that struck his knee cap. Real men cry too Bretto. Real men also drive manual cars too, but we'll leave that alone Bretto:)
McLoskey bowled well, Kenty picked up a couple. Maz finally gave McLoskey his reward with a nice slip catch, graciously vacated by Mick for the young fellas to play in.. The spin twins of Glen and O'Reilly finished off the innings, but in the end, despite some pretty tight cricket from Bembokie, Merimbula made the small target. Dave swore at least 374 times during their dig in frustration at their batting.
Later that evening Steve Parker was in touch with the tempoary capitane asking if they wanted the association to drop the Bemboka B Grade boys to C Grade. He was told to piss off and that he would regret his comments when we take out the premiership come season end.
Watch this space. Tathra to be our first victims at home next week. I can smell their fear from here...
